Explanation

Right orchidopexy is a surgical procedure performed on the right testicle. This operation is typically done when a testicle has not moved down into the correct position in the scrotum, a condition often present at birth. The surgery involves making a small cut in the groin, locating the undescended testicle, and moving it down into the scrotum. The testicle is then fixed in place to prevent it from moving back up.
